Several complications can arise during breastfeeding, including:
1. Latching problems: Difficulty in baby latching onto the breast properly, causing pain and inefficient milk transfer. 2. Sore nipples: Painful, cracked, or bleeding nipples due to improper latch or infection. 3. Engorgement: Swollen, painful breasts due to excessive milk accumulation. 4. Mastitis: Infection of the breast tissue, leading to pain, swelling, redness, and fever. 5. Low milk supply: Insufficient milk production, which can impact infant growth and development. 6. Thrush: A fungal infection in the baby's mouth and mother's nipples, causing pain and discomfort.
